Short sellers and the Governmenthave taken the birth of a brand new industry and brought it to it's knees. Quite sad really but I shouldn't be surprised. Financial institutions have always sucked the life out of the human race for as long as they have been around. The good news is that the cannabis industry has always thrived and made money hand over fist and now it gets to make that money legally in this country. Other countries will follow in time and the vast sums of cash will equate into earnings for companies that are well run. In the meantime it is just a game for the suspenders but it won't be long before the short manipulation trickles down to insider trading and media hype to drop the stock price. Earnings moving forward will increase once the government is paid their part and regulations become more favourable. We are already seeing this happen first hand. The government likes to collect money and are starting to make more arrests in the black market. So many positive factors for this industry means it can only be held down for so long. Enjoy your day shorts.... before you know it you'll be long!
